Thank you!

There's one light, though, that immediately catches his eye, drags his weary bones up off the hill and down into the smoke-rank remains of the grove. She's seems to be just a kid, but he knows better than to trust appearances by now. ]
Did you burn 'em?
[ His voice is quiet, not through any respect of the setting or anything, but merely out of exhaustion. ]
no subject
[At those words, the girl's eyes widen and her head turns sharply to look at him, hair whipping behind her.]
No...!!
[The small shout is immediate. But then she looks down, staring at her feet.]
I think... it's my fault though...
no subject
So what're you going to do about it?
[ My fault. If she didn't light the fires but she's accepting blame, then who is she? Another of the elder gods? Goddess of Innocence, maybe? ]
no subject
I... I'm going to repair the damages. I'm going to find out who did it...
no subject
[ After all the smoke he's inhaled today, the cigarette's too harsh on raw lungs. He coughs, makes a face, and grinds the butt end out (very thoroughly) under his heel.
Shit he's tired. ]
I don't know who the hell you are, but figurin' out what's going on here'll be easier if you aren't keepin' the rest of us in th'dark.
no subject
I will! I'll tell everyone everything I know! It's what I've always been doing…
[Frowning down at her feet, she unclenches and then clenches her fists again.]
...I'm just afraid I don't know enough...
no subject
(Well, okay, there's always the possibility that she's going to transform into some kind of eyeball-covered monster, but that's just the way his life goes. Until that happens, she's a kid, and a sad one at that.)
Gojyo drops one broad (and smoke-rank) hand onto that bowed head, his lips curving up in a weary smile. ]
You want to know a grown-up secret? [ He leans over, the whisper half for show and half because his throat is really thrashed. ] Nobody ever knows enough. Nobody ever has all th'pieces. You've just got to take what you do know, and do your best with that.
no subject
It's nice to know that, really. I can't help but think that I should be the exception. But… thank you.
[She seems to glow a little brighter in that moment.]
no subject
Well you're not the exception, okay? You're a kid, so be a kid.
[ It's been a really long day. He folds those long legs of his and drops down hard onto the ground next to her... and after a moment, flops onto his back with a sigh. ]
Don't be in such a hurry to grow up.
no subject
I'm not really a kid, though.
[She figures he's figured it out. Most other people did at this point.]
But I wish I could hold off on growing up. Really I do.
no subject
So go make th'most of it while you can. [ He waves... well, the idea was that it was in the general direction of the cherry trees, but really it's just sort of at the world at large. ] Go play. Climb trees. Do kid stuff.
no subject
Mmm. I'll try! But maybe you should get some sleep. You look and sound very tired.
[Pat pat pat.]
no subject
Nah. [ Gojyo adjusts his hands behind his head -- the ground is ashy, but so is he. ] There's a conversation at home I want to put off a bit longer. Think I'll stay here for now. ...You should get home though! It's late for kids, and I bet your mom's getting worried.
no subject
It's okay! I don't have a mom~
[Like that's no big deal. Because to her, it isn't. She's never had a mom, whatever.]
no subject
Isn't your mom Amaterasu?
[ See and he was so clever to have figured that out, too! ]
no subject
And she just starts laughing.]
W-what? No, no!
[She takes a deep breath, trying to calm her giggles.]
I am Amaterasu.
no subject
What. ]
The hell you are. [ Sorry, but his brain can't process that right now. He sits right up, though -- she's got his full attention now. ] You're just a kid!
no subject
I'm not a kid. I know I look really young, but...
[She trails off, tugging on her hair lightly.]
I'm Amaterasu anyway.
